Ashley Plantation Country Club - Meadows Course

I went to Ashley Plantation website and booked a tee time 3 days in advance. I drove an hour to play, got there 30 minutes early. When I went to the pro shop to check in they said they didn't have me down for a tee time. I showed them the confirmation on my phone and they said there was nothing they could do offered me a tee time for 2 1/2 hours later. The staff blamed the problem on the computer system and said "it happens" I felt like they had no concern about my inconvenience. If I were to, which I personally probably won't, play there again I would definitely call to book my tee time.

After a few years struggling, Runk and Pratt have returned this course to where it needs to be. This is the best public course in Roanoke right now, I've played them all and decided to join here based on that info.

These fairways are cut so short and tight

Let the grass grow please

Greens are good

Overall for the money a great option for golf in SW VA. I am disappointed they've changed the in and out. The staff was very disrespectful and unfriendly. The course was in poor conditions and the fairways specifically were in bad shape. The greens were manageable. I hate this course layout. The par 6 for sure is a lousy hole and demonstrates the bad course layout. The course plays too long for the recreational golfer. Again, biggest complaint was the starter and clubhouse staff. The "Good morning, sir." was greeted with a brief grunt and a look like I just came in from the wrong side of the tracks. Now that unfortunately is par for this course in my 6 trips. PS, the long cut is way too long, if you don't make the sloppy fairways you lose your ball.

I was fortunate enough to have booked a round on a day that was unseasonably warm and clear skies. It was windy but it was manageable. It just gave it a bit of a links style feel.

The greens looked dry but were actually slower than I expected so it took a little bit of adjusting. Overall, the course is in great shape of this time of year. I was just happy to be playing at all this time of year, much less on a course that's actually in good condition.

My only criticism was that some of the more sloped fairways on the back 9 were very wet and had ruts/tire tracks from when people were trying to stop. I'm not sure what you do here but it may be a situation where they have to rope those parts of the course off.

All in all, a tremendous value for what I paid on this particularly gorgeous day.

Amazing mountain golf. This course, with the exception of the 10th hole green which has unfortunately succumbed to weather, bug, and drainage issues, is in great shape and excellent value for the money. The club house and facilities are above average and clean. The course has one of the only par sixes in the state at 625 yds from the White tees. It is an easy birdie for a long ball hitter and I reached with an uphill approach from 140 (very elevated green and soggy conditions) with an 8 iron to end with birdie. Also, there is a tantalizing par 3 which has an extremely elevated tee box at 210 yards... play it as 170. I drive 285-310 consistently and this course can be overpowered (i.e. blast past all the trouble) from the whites but well placed fairway woods are the shot of choice on shorter holes. The course is forgiving and challenging at the same time. Many blind tee shots where 'home cooking' golf shots pay dividends.

Girlfriend and I took in a round and played in about 3 hours which is awesome. The course was in pretty good condition for this time of year, even if it wasn't perfect. We played for 9 dollars so I can't really complain. Make sure you hit the ball in the fairway and understand the speed of the greens. The fast greens were probably my favorite part of the day!

Great course. Very hilly and some long rides between holes. Would be a challenge to walk. Well maintained. Greens were tricky but not overly so. They rolled true...nothing unfair about maintenance or pin placement. Usually not too fond of courses built in planned neighborhoods surrounded by homes. But this one was spacious, had great views, and was not crowded by homes. A truly pleasant experience and a great value with GolfNow rate. Thank You!

Nice course for the money.Not too fond of a few holes for different reasons. A par 6 to me just breaks traditional golf for me.Not a fan of blind tee shots unless its a dogleg so 10 & 11 are misses for me.

Course is in very good shape. We played right after a heavy rain. The course drained well and was very playable within a hour or so after rain stopped. Staff was nice. Great value for what we paid.

nice WIDE fairways, well mown rough that's easy to find ball and hit out of. Big fast smooth greens. This course is in as good or better condition than any public course in the Roanoke valley

Course was in great shape and very forgiving; staff was extremely nice and helpful (Played Meadows and Hills).
Fairways cut well and greens in nice shape.

Staff person Ben was very friendly and I will recommend this course on his professional attitude.

The roughs are so thick and deep. You cant find your ball until you are standing on top of it. Trying to hit out of them feels like you are going to break an arm.

Course was in good shape. Needed a little mowing attention. Had a lot of fun playing. We will certainly go back.

I was paired with 3 other goflers from out of town and we had a great day! Of course shooting under 80 is always a great day for me.

The course is in above average condition except for the bunkers.
Many of the bunkers were washed out or not maintained; the ones that were maintained were rather hard packed. The course is very hilly with many blind shots; but had quite a variety of hole routings to keep your interest throughout the round. The greens are large, fast, very undulating, and fun.

Paid $ 28.00 for two on a day that was suppose to rain and never saw a drop. Beautiful weather and course in good condition

there needs to be someway to provide, to drain this excess ground water off the fairway!

This is right up there with the top courses in the Roanoke Valley
